🎯 Canada needs a Sunshine Act, revealing how Pharma flows $$ to academics and clinicians
@It_is_Tiresome @Cunnington50818 @Dave_Eby Remember many addiction medicine and psychiatry experts are not the best advisors as far as “mental health and drug addiction” policy.

@Conservative_BC Why not call on Eby to reinstate the work we’d been doing for 20 years - give us the data we were promised so that British Columbians have hard facts about addiction, homelessness, and crime?

We honour the memory of legendary #Oneida actor, #GrahamGreene, who opened doors for Indigenous storytellers in film and television. His powerful performances, including his Oscar-nominated role in "Dances with Wolves," brought an authentic Indigenous voice to screens worldwide.

Shame & harmful #publichealth Vancouver! 5 days later, the new beach water report shows worse ecoli than last wk! What’s @CityofVancouver @VCHhealthcare doing? Fireworks & boats won’t help. Neither will a shortage of swimming spaces. #vanpoli #Vancouver #beach #swimming

@VCHhealthcare & @CityofVancouver: please correct “Misfiled or missing” beach #ecoli updates for Stanley Park, English Bay, Kits (Route 2 beaches reports missing see vid clip of @VCHhealthcare web). Lots of heat & no water updates isn’t helpful. #vanpoli #phsa #vch #vancouver

Update: BC Health Ministry Josie Osborne is asked to explain why Island Health doctors and facilities are being used to infuse privately funded medicine for Charleigh Pollock tomorrow if it’s true the medicine isn’t needed? Does the minister admit that Island Health doctors
This is incredible. The NDP Government decided to cut them loose but regular people are intervening to save this family. They’ve raised another $34,000 in less than 24 hours. That’s another infusion funded. They might actually manage to do this… #bcpoli

2/2: #thirdbeach #sunsetbeach No Suitable for Swimming sign just going up now at third beach. Sad day for the ocean & swimming in Vancouver. I’m sure the fireworks won’t help water quality either. #swimmers #vancouver #beach #vancouvertourism #publichealth #watersafety #vanpoli

I don't want this slide to be lost from yesterday's post, as it really highlights the need to educate and protect all children from sexual violence, and reveals the damage done when we fail to do this. Treat the issue. Not the gender.
